New battery tech lasts for days, charges in seconds
Scientists from the University of Central Florida (UCF) have created a supercapacitor battery prototype that works like new even after being recharged 30,000 times. The research could yield high-capacity, ultra-fast-charging batteries that last over 20 times longer than a conventional lithium-ion cell. "You could charge your mobile phone in a few seconds and you wouldn't need to charge it again for over a week," says UCF postdoctoral associate Nitin Choudhary.

I've been reading these types news for over a decade now, and not much has changed when it comes to battery technology... still takes hours to charge and still cant hold a charge for more than 1 day of regular use. Lets hope soon we can see some true innovation in battery tech!
I'm not holding my breath. I'll be excited when I see one on the market and it doesn't substitute for C4.
Yeah, that's a major concern. We saw just how dangerous unstable batteries can be with the whole Samsung fiasco.
Good for consumers, bad for business. Won't happen.
